Crafty Helen@Home's Halloween/Autumn Swap

Who are this gruesome foursome? Only some fab monster tea lights sent over from dosierosie as part of Crafty Helen's Halloween/Autumn Blog Swap!It's the first blog swap we've taken part in and it's really been a lot of fun!There are these ghost moulds which we are so tempted to use for candles or soap rather than ice...!

And then this lovely bag promising tricks or treats...note the lace trimmed tag - lovely!

Luckily for me it was crammed full of sweets - hurrah!

Then following closely after them was this felty fellow who was lurking amongst the tissue paper...!

But the best treat of all was this beautiful purse, embellished with star shaped sequins and such a gorgeous colour - lovely felting!

How lucky were we? What a lovely idea Helen, thank you Dosie Rosie for being an ace swap partner and I hope that you both have a great Halloween! Nic x

It was a fab parcel and so much fun to take part in - thanks Helen for organising it all! I probably wouldn't have 'met' Gill (dosierosie)otherwise. Check out the goodies that we sent to Gill! I particularly liked making the bunting! Happy Halloween everyone, Nic x

Hi Nic - I'm glad that your first swap experience was a good one, thanks for joining in the fun. I have loved this swap, and am already thinking about repeating my 'Fabric Addict Swap', but not until early next year.xx

About Me

Nic Gouldsmith started Halfpenny Home in an old soap factory in the small Suffolk town of Needham Market and very quickly became the place to go for hard to find crafting sundries and haberdashery supplies. After just over 4 years in the soap factory HH HQ moved to the dream location on Alder Carr Farm! The new and shiny HH HQ is now housed in an old windmill which for many years was used as a dovecote - the nest boxes are still in place and now are filled with ribbon, fabric and buttons!
With help from a few of Nic's creative friends HH HQ runs a very varied list of fun workshops where you are sure to produce something beautiful and have a lovely time...we also have rather a lot of tea and homemade cakes!
Enjoy reading about everything that happens at Halfpenny Home and there are also some rather pretty photos, please do ask for permission first before reproducing them anywhere - it's always nice to hear about where they will pop up!
